A learning community (LC) is a group of students who share a common experience around their academics and/or their residential environment. Students and faculty involved in learning communities share common interests and build relationships in and outside the classroom. All learning communities are designed to help students succeed academically, make friends quickly, adjust to the college life and learn about the abundance of resources that Rutgers has to offer.
Students enrolled in learning communities will benefit from the following:
Learning Communities are offered in a variety of options and interests and range in scope and commitment levels. All learning communities include academic coursework which varies from community to community. Application and registration processes vary as well, please contact us for further details on the community you are interested in. For students seeking special interest housing with no academic coursework can visit the Division of Housing and Residence Life at http://housing.rutgers.edu/slo for a listing of special living options.
We invite you to become a part of the wonderful world of Rutgers Learning Communities.
Note: Most incoming students have indicated their interest in a Learning Community online through the Rutgers enrollment pathway or through an advising day at Rutgers. If you have not yet indicated your interest, you may do so by completing a Learning Community Interest Form.
